Pregnancy. delivery and child care is not a valid reason for visit visa; in fact, care provided like that of a nurse, nanny or doula is considered working illegally.
Who says that her mother helping her with her new baby is considered working? You are full of yourself, it appears you have nothing else to add to this thread, but just to discourage the OP. The delivery of a child is a valid reason for the OP to request that her mother come and visit to help with the baby, perfectly legitimate and any Consular Officer with a brain will see this issue.
You need to prepare to handle all of this by yourself or with the assistance of only your husband. Take prenatal and child care classes offered by your health care provider or hospital. It really is not that hard.
Attending pre-natal care classes and having a child are two different experiences. There is nothing that prepares you for a child in your hands. It is NOT hard because you haven't done it yourself.
Healthy women are not put on bed rest in the US prior to delivery; many women work until day of delivery - including physicians. If you are in poor health, you need a professional nurse - not an untrained individual.
I am sure your mother was a nurse, hence you came out this excellent. Do you know for the fact that her mother ISN'T a nurse? Working till you deliver a child isn't a mark of some excellent health, it is a sign of poverty and financial obligations. 95% of women who are pregnant will chose to stay at home if money and career discrimination weren't major factors forcing them to work till they drop the baby in their offices. Her mother is well-able to help her with the baby.
Caring for a newborn is much easier than caring for a teenager - ask any parent of a teen. Caring for your child by yourself is an important part of being a good mother; the bonding that occurs in the first days to his/her parents is critical in an infant's development.
When did the OP indicates she has no intention of bonding with her child? Bonding is important, but when did it means a baby 24/7? Please Mr. Perfect, cut the crap.
You mother should not step into that role as long as you are able to do so which is the case even after surgical delivery. Again, if you are uncertain of how to handle an infant, take a class.
You have huge ballz to tell the OP what her mother should and shouldn't do...
. Have you ever had a wife who couldn't do anything because she had a C-section? You sound clueless dude and you shouldn't be dictating to this woman what she can and cannot do.
